A top price for Billy Childish

When the work toward a shore by Billy Childish was auctioned at Christies in London in March last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 163,800.00 (€ 194,203.34). This high result makes toward a shore the most expensive artwork by Billy Childish that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Billy Childish

Als die Arbeit toward a shore von Billy Childish im März letzten Jahres bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 163.800,00 (€ 194.203,34) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht toward a shore zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Billy Childish, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
